About me
Assistant Professor (Lecturer), University of Utah
Office: JWB 304
Email: tim.tribone@utah.edu
I joined the Utah math department in the fall of 2022 as a postdoc. Since then I’ve been hired as teaching faculty.
I finished my PhD in the spring of 2022 at Syracuse University where my advisor was Graham Leuschke. My research interests are primarily in commutative algebra and representation theory.
In July 2022, my partner Daly and I, and our two dogs, Maggie and Zeus, moved to Salt Lake City to work at the University of Utah.
I joined the Syracuse math department in the Fall of 2016 after graduating from the University of Rochester with a B.S. in mathematics in May 2016. Before studying math, I spent one year at Berklee College of Music in Boston studying jazz and the drum set.
